New T&FN Cover

I suspected as much. That would explain why I've waited seven weeks for my "October" issue.

We were debating whether or not to make it a cross country cover. :-)

Gotta give ya some props on the masthead coloring.

Thumbing though the lead article, I see that Sieg -- perhaps putting on a brave face, or maybe just being coy -- refers to Jamaica, “an island with a population less than 1/10th the size of the U.S. … ”

Well, yes. :wink: That’s technically true. Wikipedia data for 2005 gives Jamaica 2,651,000 souls (about the size of metropolitan Baltimore), while the U.S. has 298,213,000. That works out to a ratio of about 0.009, or less than 1/100th the size of America.

Perhaps Jamaica could use some of Bolt’s bling to purchase India. That would make the numbers look a bit less embarrassing in 4 years time. :lol:

I don't think the Chinese would be willing to sell it.

It might be negotiable. China wants more medals, and India won a grand total of 2 (all sports) during this Games.
